Chan Mo-po: The fluctuation of U.S. policies may affect market stability, maintaining a cautiously optimistic outlook on Hong Kong's capital market

During the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Financial Secretary Paul Chan stated that the U.S. government's policy direction is fluctuating, which is expected to add volatility to the Hong Kong market. However, he remains cautiously optimistic about the medium to long-term performance of Hong Kong's capital market.

In an interview with international media, Chan pointed out that despite the complex global geopolitical environment, as long as Hong Kong continues to maintain an open market, ensure the free flow of capital, implement moderate regulations in line with international standards, and continuously attract high-quality companies to list in Hong Kong, he believes that international investors will continue to value the strategic significance and investment opportunities of the Hong Kong market. He further noted that during discussions with political and business leaders from various countries at the forum, he observed a noticeably more positive attitude towards investing in Hong Kong and the mainland Chinese market compared to the past, reflecting an increasing confidence among international capital in the regional economic outlook
